  You can catch several bus routes from the city center to the National Botanic Gardens. Bus numbers 83, 83A, and 40 all stop close to the gardens. If you board at O'Connell Street, take the 83 bus and get off at the Botanic Gardens stop. The entrance is just a short walk from the bus stop.

• Walking

  If you're staying near the city center and enjoy walking, you can take a leisurely stroll to the National Botanic Gardens. Start from O'Connell Street and head north across the River Liffey towards Parnell Square. From there, continue straight onto Grantham Street, and then take a right onto Clonliffe Road. Follow Clonliffe Road until you reach the entrance of the gardens. This walk will take approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on your pace.

  Dublin has a bike-sharing program called Dublin Bikes, which you can use to reach the National Botanic Gardens. Locate a nearby Dublin Bikes station and rent a bike. Head north towards the River Liffey, then follow the cycle paths along the river until you reach the Clontarf area. From there, navigate to Glasnevin and park your bike at the bike stand near the entrance of the gardens.
